The main concept behind the design of Blade Guitars is "Classic design, creative technology"; From this, there is to say that a significant part of its catalog is inspired by well-established electric guitar and bass designs. In fact, most of their designs are based on the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster, with some modifications in their electronics and basic design to provide a wider tonal range and comfort.

Blade Guitars is a manufacturer of electric guitars and bass guitars founded by luthier Gary Levinson in 1987. Levinson had been repairing guitars since 1964 and, in 1977, during his graduate studies at the University of Basel, Switzerland, he founded Guitars by Levinson. Using the experience he gathered from his work, he decided to start Blade Guitars in 1985. By 1986, he was refining the idea of a line of guitars based on the concept he defines as "Classic Design, Creative Technology"; at this time, he was also determining the features that would characterize his range of guitars. In January 1987, a manufacturing deal was reached for the production of the guitars. Blade Guitars made their debut in October 1987, at the music show of Tokyo. Their presentation at the Frankfurt Musikmesse in 1988 signalled their European launch.
